Sinclair Will Not Air 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Upon ABC Return Tuesday

While "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" will return to ABC on Tuesday, the late night show won't be returning to Sinclair's ABC affiliates as the broadcaster will replace the show with news programming as discussions with ABC continue. "Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming," a Sinclair spokesperson told TheWrap. "Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return." Sinclair Broadcasting owns, operates or provides services to 178 television stations . . .
